Hi, I'm Donna - I am honest, tidy, easy-going, non-smoker with a 'can-do' attitude who will treat your home, belongings and pets as if they were my own!

I have had the opportunity to do many housesits - both through this and another site, as well as through private recommendations.

I completely understand - to be relaxed during your time away you need to know that everything is being well looked after back home. I am happy to provide regular photo/video updates, so that you get that stress-free time away when needed.

If we are unable to meet face to face prior to the housesit, I am more than happy to do a facetime or zoom call so that we all get the opportunity to ensure we are the right fit for each other.

From a professional perspective, I now work from home, so I can provide lots of time and attention to your fur/feather-babies.

I like to keep fit, so no problem taking your dogs for walks and play time on the beach, dog parks or walking tracks. I'm very confident with large dogs; and am willing to assist with special requirements such as the need for medication your pets may need.

Prior to my current career I worked extensively in education - everything from classroom teaching, Life Education, preschools, swimming instructor, Youth Ambassador for World Vision, Tutor for Ronald McDonald Foundation, Link To Life Facilitator for The Smith Family; in every type of classroom imaginable, as well as the homes of seriously ill children.

I have held a number management positions in the social welfare field; as well as volunteering for many community organisations.

I've been a solo mama to 4 fantastic boys for a long time & now I'm basically an empty-nester (where did that time go???) ... although they do come back now & then LOL. Having come from a very large extended family, we are very family oriented.

Currently living in Coffs Harbour, NSW, I'm open to do many more housesits now that I have more freedom to do so. I also love to treat my mum to mini-breaks/holidays when I can, so sometimes she comes along with me as well (if OK with home owner of course!)

I am flexible time-wise, can housesit just for a weekend or an extended period of time :)

I have current Police and Working With Children Checks, and can provide a number of personal referees as required.

Thank you for the opportunity to take care of things for you :)
Looking forward to connecting with you,
Donna
